1. WALK THIS WAY

Backstroke lover always hidin' 'neath the covers
'Til I talked to your daddy he say
He said you ain't seen nothin' 'til you're down on a muffin
Then you're sure to be a changin' your way
I met a cheerleader was a real young bleeder
Oh the times I could reminisce
'Cause the best things of lovin' with her sister and her cousin
Only started with a little kiss
A like this

Seesaw swingin' wit da boys in the school
And your feet flyin' up in the air
I sing hey diddle diddle
Wit'chor kitty in the middle of the swing like you didn't care
So I took a big chance at the high school dance
With a missy who was ready to play
Wasn't me she was foolin' 'cause she knew what she was doin'
And I knowed love is here to stay
When she told me to

Walk this way
Walk this way
Walk this way
Walk this way
Walk this way
Walk this way
Walk this way
Walk this way

A just gimmie a kiss
A like this
Oooh... uuh

Schoolgirl sweetie with a classy kinda sassy
Little skirt's climbin' way up the knee
There was three young ladies in the school gym locker
When I noticed they was lookin' at me
I was a high school loser never made it with a lady
'Til the boys told me somethin' I missed
Then my next door neighbor with a daughter had a favor
So I gave her just a little kiss
A like this

Seesaw swingin' with the boys in the school
And your feet flyin' up in the air
I sing hey diddle diddy
Wit'chor kitty in the middle of the swing like ya didn't care
A so I took a big chance at the high school dance
With a missy who was ready to play
Wasn't me she was foolin' 'cause she knew what she was doin'
When she told me how to walk this way
She told me to

Walk this way
Talk this way
Walk this way
Walk this way
Walk this way
Walk this way
Walk this way
Talk this way

A just gimmie a kiss

2. LAST CHILD

I'm dreaming tonight
I'm living back home

Right!

Take me back to-a south Tallahassee
Down cross the bridge to my sweet sassafras-y
Can't stand up on my feet in the city
Gotta get back to the real nitty gritty

Yes sir, no sir
Don't come close to my
Home, sweet home
Can't catch no dose
Of my hot tail poontang sweetheart, sweathog
That makes ya a purse
From a J. Paul Getty and his ear
With her face in her beer

Home Sweet Home

Get out in the field put the mule in the stable
Ma, she's a cookin' put the eats on the table
Hate's in the city and my love's in the meadow
Hand's on the plow and my feet's in the ghetto

Stand up, sit down
Don't do nothing
It ain't no good when boss man's
Stuffin' down their throats
For paper notes
And their babies cry
While cities lie at their feet
When you're rockin' the streets

Home Sweet Home

Mama, take me home, sweet home
I was the last child
I'm just a punk in the street


3. RATS IN THE CELLAR

We're goin' under rats are in the cellar
Goin' under skin's turnin' yellar
Nose is runny losin' my connection
We're losin' money gettin' no affection

New York City blues
East side West side news
Throw me in the slam
Catch me if you can
I believe
That'chor wearin'
Tearin' me apart

I ain't complainin' 'cause everything's rotten
Go insanin' an' anything's forgotten
Feelin' cozy rats are in the cellar
Cheeks are rosy skin's turning yellar
Loose and soggy lookin' rather lazy
See my body pushin' up the daisies

New York City's dues
East side West side news
Throw me in the slam
A catch me if you can
I believe
That'chor wearin'
Tearin' me apart

New York City blues
East side West side news
Throw me in the slam
A catch me if you can
I believe
That'chor wearin'
Tearin' me apart


4. SICK AS A DOG

Please... we're a long long way from home

And maybe you'll drink those tears away

7. BIG TEN INCH RECORD

Got me the strangest woman
Believe me this trick's no cinch
But I really get her goin'
Then I whip out my big 10 inch...

...Record of a band that plays the blues
Well a band that plays the blues

I gave my love a little pinch
She said now stop that jivin'
Now whip out'chor big 10 inch...

Record of her favorite blues

My girl don't go for smokin'
And liquor just make her flinch

'Cept for my big 10 inch...

...Record of a band that plays the blues
Band that play the blues
She just love my big 10 inch
Record of her favorite blues


8. TOYS IN THE ATTIC

9. SWEET EMOTION

Sweet emotion
Sweet emotion

Talk about things that nobody cares
Wearin' other things that nobody wears
Ya callin' my name but I gotta make clear
I can't say baby where I'll be in a year

Some sweat-hoga mama with a face like a gent
Said my get up and go musta' got up and went
Well I got good news she's a real good liar
'Cause her backstage a boogie set'chor pants on fire

Sweet emotion
Sweet emotion

I pulled into town in a police car
Your daddy said I took you just a little too far
Ya tellin' me things but'chor girlfriend lied
You can't catch me 'cause the rabbit done died

A yes it did

Standin' in the front just a shakin' your ass
I'll take you backstage you can drink from my glass
We'll talk about something you can sure understand
'Cause a month on the road and I'll be eatin' from your hand


10. TRAIN KEPT A ROLLIN'

Well, on a train, I met a dame,
She rather handsome, we kind looked the same
She was pretty, from New York City

I'm walkin' down that old fair lane,
I'm in heat, I'm in love,
But I just couldn't tell her so
I said, train kept a-rollin' all night long

Train kept a-rollin' all night long
Train kept a-rollin' all night long
Train kept a-rollin' all night long
With a "heave!", and a "ho!"

But I just couldn't tell her so, no, no, no
Well, get along, sweet little woman get along

On your way, get along, sweet little woman get along
On your way,
I'm in heat, I'm in love,
But I just couldn't tell her so, no, no, no

13. DREAM ON

Every time that I look in the mirror
All these lines on my face gettin' clearer
Fffffff... the past has gone
It went by like dusk to dawn
Isn't that the way
Everybody's got their dues in life to pay

Yeah... I know nobody knows
Where it comes and where it goes
I know it's everybody's sin
You got to lose to know... how to win

Half my life's in books written pages
Live and learn from fools and from sages
You know it's true
All the things come back to you

Sing with me sing for the year
Sing for the laughter and sing for the tear
Sing it with me if it's just for today
Maybe tomorrow the good Lord will take you away

Well... sing with me sing for the year
Sing for the laughter and sing for the tear
Sing it with me if it's just for today
Maybe tomorrow the good Lord will take you away... ahh

Mmmm... dream on... dream on... dream on
Dream yourself a dream come true
Dream on... dream on... dream on
And dream until your dream come true

Dream on... dream on... dream on... dream on
Dream on... dream on... dream on... aaahhh...

Sing with me sing for the year
Sing for the laughter and sing for the tear
Sing it with me if it's just for today
Maybe tomorrow good Lord will take you away

Sing with me sing for the year
Sing for the laughter and sing for the tear
Sing it with me if it's just for today
Maybe tomorrow the good Lord will take you away
